The research, published in JAMA Open Network, observed 283 participants aged 60 to 89 and found that those who received reminders to break up sitting time experienced a drop in blood pressure.

"Reducing Sitting Time Improves Blood Pressure in Older Adults: Promising Program Results"

A new study by Kaiser Permanente suggests that reducing sitting time by as little as 30 minutes per day can lead to a significant decrease in blood pressure for older adults. The study included 283 participants who received health coaching sessions focused on reducing sitting time, resulting in a 3.5 mmHg drop in blood pressure. Experts emphasize the importance of decreasing sedentary behavior for overall health, particularly for older adults who typically sit for 60% to 80% of their awake time. Simple strategies such as using standing workstations and taking regular activity breaks are recommended to combat the negative health effects of prolonged sitting.

The Link Between Lifestyle, Diet, and Alzheimer's Risk

A recent study led by the University of California, San Francisco suggests that personalized coaching in health and lifestyle can lead to better cognitive scores, improved quality of life, and reduced dementia risk. The study, titled the Systematic Multi-Domain Alzheimer Risk Reduction Trial (SMARRT), involved 172 older adults at high risk for dementia who received personalized coaching or no coaching. The intervention group showed a 74% improvement in cognitive test scores, a 145% improvement in dementia risk factors, and an 8% increase in quality of life compared to the control group. The study highlights the potential benefits of cognitive coaching in reducing Alzheimer's risk and improving brain health.
